Pondering A Panderer

Senator Barack Hussein Obama, remember the name(as if one could forget).

Today, speaking before Larasa, we were treared to a smearing of US law enforcement by this man who would be president. To a rousing chorus of cheers, he told them that snatching mothers from their breast feeding chores, and children coming home from school to find their parents gone, was all just so wrong. Yes indeed, bad, bad America! Immigration authorities had absolutely no business doing simply, their job, as it were. No instances of such brutal behavior were cited, nor were names, and places identified. One more well chronicled event takes it's place in the panderers hall of shame.

Remember too, this is the same man who has petitioned German authorities to allow his giving a speech at the Brandenberg Gate, where previously, only Presidents Kennedy, and Reagan have spoken in addressing the world at large. The nerve; the gall of this man. Why would he risk embarrassing himself and all the rest of America, knowing full well we all know only two European words: Merci beaucoup! That would not sit well in Berlin at all. Come to think of it, it wouldn't sit so well in France either. Now we know what he meant when he said, "We are going to change America, and the world too." Might I suggest that he might have a serious problem in merely "changing" a diaper, let alone America, and then the world at large.

Meanwhile, the President finally got off his duff, and lifted the presidential ban on off-shore drilling for oil. Courteously, he suggested that Congress too, should cooperate, and lift their ban that this country might work it's way toward energy independence. Had only President Bush done this years earlier, and led a Conservative movement while at it, perhaps, just perhaps, we could have seen our way out of this mess. What is unnerving, is that what makes perfect sense to most Americans, is not on the radar screens of those in Congress. Now, with their backs to the wall, recaltricant Republicans, and Democrats too, are bending however slowly to the will of a greater majority. It is small wonder that only in America might anyone become President. Better be careful of what we wish for however, for more of the same lies just over the horizon.

So go on America, elect the man of "Hope", and of "Change", the America we'll see in but a few years time will lead to an entry into "Poor Richard's Almanac". I don't know if Benjamin Franklin predicted this as being a possibility, but I'll bet he and certain others would be very surprised indeed.

Meanwhile, back to those who will save us...
